Hawks vs. Rockets
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Philips Arena, Atlanta
On TV: SportSouth
ATLANTA — Kyle Korver scored 17 points, Pero Antic added 16 and the Atlanta Hawks raced to a big lead before holding off the team with the NBA's best record, beating the weary Indiana Pacers 97-87 Wednesday night.
The Hawks snapped a three-game losing streak and extended Indiana's misery at Philips Arena, where the Pacers (28-7) haven't won since 2006. They dropped their 12th in a row in Atlanta, the team's longest active road losing streak against any team.
Indiana looked very much like a squad playing its fourth game in five nights and also had dealt with travel issues because of the arctic weather. The Pacers managed just 12 points in the first quarter and 32 in the opening half — both season lows.
Paul George led Indiana with 28 points.
The Hawks ended Indiana's three-game winning streak, handing the Pacers just their second loss in 10 games.
Atlanta took advantage of their sluggish opponents right from the start, racing to a 12-0 lead before most of the sparse crowd had settled into their seats. The Hawks built a 49-32 lead by halftime and were up by as many 25 in the third quarter.
But the Eastern Conference leaders, who never led, weren't about to go that easily.
They clamped down at the defensive end against a team that must make up for the loss of center Al Horford, out with a season-ending injury. The Pacers picked it up offensively, too, scoring more points in the third quarter than they did in the first two combined.
Heading to the fourth, Atlanta's lead was down to 79-66. The Pacers got as close as eight in the final period but finally ran out of steam, making only two of their last nine shots.
Indiana played without guard Lance Stephenson, who didn't dress because of a bruised right knee. Danny Granger started in his place, with George moving to Stephenson's shooting guard spot.
George lit up the Hawks, knocking down 11 of 25 from the field — including three from beyond the arc — and leading the Pacers with 12 rebounds. He didn't get much help; Granger with 14 points and George Hill with 10 were his only teammates in double figures.
The Hawks were much more balanced, overcoming a poor night by Paul Millsaps. He made only 1 of 10, but the other four starters were all in double figures and Mike Scott added 15 off the bench.
NOTES: Korver went 3 of 5 from 3-point range, extending his NBA-record streak to 105 games in a row with at least one trey. He knocked down his first early in the third quarter from the top of the key, also drawing a foul and converting the four-point play. ... Pacers F David West went out in the second quarter with an injured right hand. He iced it on the bench and returned in the second half.

Background and character generation
After the player completes character generation, he/she is asked some questions about their background. These should be aimed towards explaining why the player finds themself in the Reach. Are they simply a traveller, a mercenary, or a local? Have they been sent there by a guild, or are they fleeing somewhere? This should determine where the player starts, his/her starting equipment, and eventually guild membership too.
- The player is a caravan guard, and has just escorted a group of travelling merchants from Bruma to Karthwasten. The player starts in a tavern near the Karthwasten bazaar, with some low-level armor and a weapon, as well as the pay for the caravan job, a good bit of gold.
- The player is the son or daughter of a farmer somewhere in the Reach. But times are tough, and the player has chosen to go to the city, in an attempt to earn a living and make a name for themself, hoping to return to the family farm with lots of gold. The player starts out with common clothing, a few coins of gold, and a number of food items he/she can sell.
- The player is an initiate student in the Guild of Mages. Orginally from Wayrest, the player has been transferred to the Dragonstar guild chapter, to study under one of the masters of Illusion magic. The player starts out in the guild, as a guild member, and with a robe and some basic magic related items, like scrolls and soul gems.
Something between hardcore mode and the current system, where you can be revived eternally. You start out with a number of lives (i.e. 5), indicating the number of times you can be revived when you're killed. You are given additional lives when levelling up. This makes death more impactful, rather than just lowering some skills, but doesn't make it terribly challenging either.
Perhaps some of you have some more ideas?

At Tech Ed this summer, Microsoft talked about a new product that brings application lifecycle management to database development.
Application lifecycle management has been around for years allowing application developers to check code out from a central repository and enjoy the luxury of knowing that they are the only developer working on that particular section of the code.
Of course, they have also known that any errors they introduce into the code can, ultimately, be tracked back to them - but hey, no gain without pain.
We poor database developers on the other hand, have largely been ignored. True, there are some tools around - for Embarcadero's see here - but what we have lacked, particularly in the Microsoft world, is true source control for the language we use to build databases (that language is actually the Data Definition Language [DDL] component of SQL).
Enter Data Dude (DD), the new kid on the block. Actually, he's so new he's still in CTP (Community Technology Preview) which can be downloaded here.
DD's real name is "Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Database Professionals"; hence the widespread use of the nickname. DD was partially the brainchild of Ewan Garden and Gert Drapers, so it has parents with very respectable database backgrounds.
DD does all of the usual source code control stuff and just a little more. For a start, you can reverse engineer existing database schemas from both SQL Server 2000 and 2005. This is decomposed into SQL fragments, each of which describes a single object (table, view, index etc). These are all stored separately but are logically bound together by what is essentially an object model.
In fact, DD stores everything, as you might expect given its provenance, as rows in tables in a relational database. This means that all changes to the source code are tracked as transactions and can be rolled back if required.
The object model also ensures that DD can track the dependencies between the different components. So if you, for example, change a table name in the schema, DD can find every component that references that table and update the name throughout the entire code base if you so desire. Microsoft refers to this process as refactoring for databases (see Figure 1); it works for all the DDL code but not for procedural code written in other languages such as VB and C#.
DD can also do other tricks. Imagine that you import a schema from an existing database and modify it. Given that the original database is full of operational data, you don't want to blow it away and replace it with the new; instead, you want a "change schema", an SQL script that will modify the structure of the existing database into the new. DD can produce such "change schemas".
It also has the ability to generate relatively sophisticated sets of test data – from random to sets of data with particular characteristics (see figures two and three).
The seed values used to generate the data can be stored so that you can later generate exactly the same set of data.
The importance of Data Dude for the Microsoft database developer community is difficult to over-emphasise. If Microsoft gets the product right, and the early indications are very good, it will be a winner. ®

WASHINGTON, June 28, 2011--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is seeking public comment on a plant pest risk assessment and a draft environmental assessment (EA) to address a request from the Monsanto Company seeking a determination of nonregulated status. The request is for soybeans that have been genetically engineered (GE) to be insect resistant.
Monsanto's GE soybean, event MON 87701, expresses an insecticidal protein, Cry1Ac, to protect it from lepidopteran insect damage. Event MON 87701 is currently under APHIS regulation. Interstate movements and field trials of MON 87701 have been conducted under permits issued or notifications acknowledged by APHIS since 2002.
APHIS' risk assessment indicates that Monsanto's soybeans are unlikely to pose a plant pest risk. APHIS is making available for public comment the Monsanto petition, the agency's risk assessment and the draft EA for the requested determination of nonregulated status.
APHIS has prepared this draft EA to consider the potential environmental impacts of a determination of nonregulated status for event MON 87701. Preparation of the draft EA is consistent with the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act.
The notice of availability of the risk assessment, draft EA and the petition is published in today's June 28 Federal Register.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before Aug. 29. You may submit comments by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to
www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2011-0038 to submit or view comments and to view supporting and related materials available electronically.
• Postal Mail/Commercial Delivery: Please send your comment to Docket No. APHIS-2011-0038, Regulatory Analysis and Development, PPD, APHIS, Station 3A-03.8, 4700 River Road Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238.

Thanks in part to the highest unemployment rate for college graduates in 11 years, more students are deferring repayment of student loans and leaving school with more debt than ever before.
Even though more than half of college graduates under age 25 are unemployed or underemployed, there are other reasons to why a TransUnion study found that more than half of student loan accounts are in deferred status: The large loan amounts don't register with them, says Tom Yarnell, director of financial aid at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio.
"I don't think they realize how long it takes to pay it back and the amount they'll have to pay back," Yarnell says.
"Students at that age level have their eyes on something other than the borrowing amount and are pretty sure they'll be able to get a job and pay the loan back," he says.
The loan amounts can be overwhelming. Student loan balances increased 75% between 2007 and 2012, with the average debt per borrower increasing by 30% to $23,829, according to the TransUnion study.

But there is some good news for students — for those who have federal student loans, anyway. The loan interest rates on those loans are lower than private loan interest rates because they are subsidized by the federal government, and borrowers have more legal rights with federal loans than they do with private loans. Here are nine rights students have for federal loans:
1. The right to loan counseling. Federal laws require loan providers to spell out the terms of loans to borrowers, but student loans are unique because they require borrowers to complete entrance and exit counseling before and after they get a loan so that they understand the terms, says Helen Nunn, director of financial aid at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pa. The National Student Loan Data System provides online counseling to help understand loan terms and rights and responsibilities of repayment.
"Once they get that far into the funnel, that they're actually signing up and receiving loan funds, there's quite a bit of information and counseling they have to do," Nunn says.
2. Right to contact your loan servicer. This right applies to all types of loans; you can contact your loan provider any time you want. But with student loans, the servicers that are contracted by the Department of Education to coordinate billing make it easy to contact them to answer questions, Nunn says. They also provide a lot of information that students may not even read, but will help them, says Greg Gearhart, director of financial aid at Messiah College in Grantham, Pa.
"There are lots of rights and responsibilities that students have with their loans, but they get all of that information as part of their Master Promissory Note and the loan entrance and exit counseling processes," Gearhart says.
"The loan servicer sends them all kinds of disclosures," he says. "On that basis, you could say that they already know everything they need to know, but it is true that we constantly joke about how students don't need anything we send them and I'm sure any given student you ask might not know of something she should."

3. Right to defer payment. If you're in graduate school or the military, loan payments can be deferred until you're out. A hardship deferment can also be given to the unemployed, or forbearance if a borrower is sick and unable to work. A forbearance allows monthly payments to be discontinued or shrunk for up to 12 months. Interest will still accrue during the time off from the loan.
4. Right to pay based on what you earn. There are a few programs that can help with loan payments if you can't afford the loans you have. The "pay as you earn" plan puts the monthly payment at 10% of your discretionary income based on your income and family size. The "income-based repayment plan" is based on 15% of discretionary income.
The "income-contingent repayment" plan is based on 20% of monthly discretionary income and is meant for low income borrowers who don't qualify for the other plans. Under the plans, if the balance isn't paid off by the end of the loan terms (20 to 25 years), then the remainder is forgiven.
5. Right to consolidate loans. If you have several federal student loans, you can consolidate them into a single monthly payment, making bill paying easier.
6. Right to loan forgiveness. If you work in law enforcement, early childhood education, public health, emergency management, the military, school-based services or such government jobs, you may be eligible to have your student loan balance forgiven if you've made 120 payments under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
Teachers in low-income communities can have up to $17,500 in loans forgiven under the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program.
7. Right to change payment schedule. The standard loan payment schedule is for 10 years. An extended repayment plan can increase it to 25 years, which will decrease the monthly payment but increase the interest paid on the loan. For the grad with an increasing income, payments can be graduated and start low with increases every two years.
8. Right to deduct interest. By following IRS rules, federal student loan interest payments can be deducted from taxable income.
9. Right to repay early. This may sound like a no-brainer, but it's a right that borrowers don't always have. Student loans can be repaid early with no penalty.
Federal student loan delinquency rates rose 27% from 2007 to 2012, according to TransUnion, while private loan delinquency rates dropped 2% during the same time. The potential worry, a TransUnion official says, is that such high delinquency rates for student loans could spill over into mortgages and other debt.
Student loan borrowers who know their rights, hopefully, won't fall into such holes.

An upgrade to Missouri's drivers license information system this Saturday and coming Monday will delay the application process for new and renewed driver permits at local license offices. Click to hear KMZU's Jill Molloy speak with Director of Communications for the Missouri Department of Revenue Ted Farnen.
Press Release from the Missouri Department of Revenue:
JEFFERSON CITY – Missouri's local license offices will not be able to process applications for new and renewal driver licenses and driver permits February 19 and 21. But license offices open on those days will be able to complete all motor vehicle transactions such as renewing license plates, obtaining motor vehicle titles, and paying sales taxes on vehicle purchases.
The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators has advised all states that its driver license information system will be unavailable February 19 and 21, due to an upgrade of the system. This system is used to ensure that persons applying for new and renewed commercial and noncommercial driver licenses do not have any out-of-state driving violations, suspensions, or revocations. Because the system will be unavailable, new driver licenses and renewed driver license applications cannot be processed on either date.
"Although the license offices won't be able to process driver licenses on these dates, the offices that will be open will still be able to help customers with other transactions," said Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue. "I urge persons who have driver licenses expiring on one of those two days to get their licenses renewed before February 19. Driver licenses are not valid for driving after the expiration date."
A majority of Missouri's license offices will already be closed on February 19 and 21 for reasons unrelated to the computer upgrade. February 19 falls on a Saturday, when many offices are normally closed, and February 21 is Presidents Day. Of Missouri's 183 local license offices, about one third of them will be open on February 19, and about one third will be open on February 21.
You can check the holiday status, operating hours, contact information, and locations of all local license offices online at http://dor.mo.gov/offloc/.
"For the offices that will be closed on February 19 and 21, the computer upgrade will not be an issue," Barragán-Scott said. "Customers of the other offices, however, need to know that driver licenses and permits won't be processed those days so that the computer system can be updated to improve performance and security.

Guessing Word Meaning from Context Has Its Limit: Why?
This study highlights the relationship between guessing strategy and the acquisition of passive and controlled active vocabulary knowledge among Malaysian university students. Two strategies make up the guessing strategy in this study namely using backward knowledge and using linguistic cues. Vocabulary Learning Questionnaire was used to measure the preference level of guessing strategy as one of the vocabulary learning strategies. Simultaneously, their passive and controlled active vocabulary knowledge were assessed using the Vocabulary Levels Test. 360 university students aged between 18 to 21 years old were involved. Though guessing strategy was preferred by the students as their vocabulary learning strategy, it does not help them in improving their passive and controlled active vocabulary knowledge. Further discussion focuses on the possible reasons why guessing strategy does not work for them. This paper concludes with a discussion on the pedagogical implications of the results.

Crew coach Robert Warzycha was prescient in an interview a few days after his club allowed the tying goal in stoppage time at FC Dallas earlier this month.
"If you look at any team in the world, that's going to happen in the course of a season," he said of yielding late goals.
Jump to last Saturday and Warzycha probably was having flashbacks when he saw how the ending of the Manchester derby was similar to the Crew's 2-2 draw vs. Dallas.
Less than a minute remained in stoppage time when City's Craig Bellamy kicked the ball out of the attacking zone rather than dribble downfield away from harm. The ball went 30 yards across the field and was intercepted near the center circle at the 92:24 mark of the scoreless match. The television commentator called it a "Hollywood pass" for being fancy but lacking value.
Seven passes and 18 seconds later, the turnover resulted in the winning goal for United's Paul Scholes.
Like Man City, the Crew didn't do a good job of killing the clock and lost points when Eric Avila scored in the 93rd minute with the aid of a quick and controversial restart.
"One point on the road is good but the way the game ended we all have bad tastes in our mouths," Warzycha said. "The game ends up on the last kick and the last kick was a goal."
The late score was reminiscent of the Crew's early-season woes in 2009 when they lost eight potential points beyond the 82nd minute in the first nine games. Warzycha, though, didn't view the Dallas game as the start of a trend.
"I'm not blaming my players for that because it was something else," he said.
He didn't elaborate, but it's clear he felt the decision by referee Jasen Anno to allow FCD to play the ball while the Crew were still getting set cost it the game and a player.
U.S. Soccer agreed in its weekly referee review when it said that Anno erred. Without the sneaky free kick, there might not have been the tying goal and certainly defender Danny O'Rourke wouldn't have been red-carded for abusive language.
"At the end of the year, hopefully, we've positioned ourselves where we can look back and say to ourselves it was good we got that point on the road," midfielder Brian Carroll said. "But at the same time, we need to learn that we're good enough team to put teams away."
The Crew corrected their mistakes last season and over the final 21 regular-season games, lost points in the final 10 minutes only once: a 2-1 defeat at FC Dallas when they yielded scores in the 80th and 87th minutes.
Meanwhile, the Crew turned ties into victories in the final moments three times during that span.
"You're going to win some games in the last minute and you're going to lose some games in the last minute, or, you can tie in the last minute," Warzycha said. "That's the give and take."
With Real Salt Lake visiting Crew Stadium on Saturday, more bad memories of late tallies are bound to resurface.
In the first leg of the 2009 conference semifinals, the Crew were moments away from an important 0-0 draw on the road when Robbie Findley scored in the 88th minute to give RSL the advantage. The Royals then stunned the Crew 3-2 in Columbus to claim the total goals series en route to winning the MLS Cup.
Carroll wouldn't be surprised if Saturday's rematch goes down to the wire.
"Look around the league," he said. "There's a lot of late goals to tie or win. I can't put a finger on it. Teams are scrapping for every point they get. It's all about killing time through taking the ball to the corner or keeping possession and playing smart, solid defense and getting numbers behind the ball."

Product Details
RT2 lncRNA PCR Arrays are panels of RT2 lncRNA qPCR Assays for long noncoding RNAs related by pathway or disease. Assays are designed using a computer algorithm, which has been developed using an in vitro assay to ensure that the resulting primer sequences generate a single PCR product of the predicted size without primer-dimers or off-target amplification – in 33 cycles of PCR amplification. The assay also ensures that the amplification efficiency of the primers is 100 +/– 10%. As a result, the algorithm designs highly effective primer sequences for SYBR® Green based real-time PCR detection.
For optimal performance, RT2 lncRNA PCR Arrays should be used together with the RT2 First Strand Kit for cDNA synthesis and RT2 SYBR Green Mastermixes for qPCR. These reagents have been formulated and pretested together with RT2 lncRNA PCR Arrays. The RT2 First Strand Kit includes a proprietary genomic DNA elimination step to remove any residual contamination in RNA samples before reverse transcription, thereby eliminating false positive signals. In addition, an artificial RNA control template is also included which can be used to follow the reverse transcription efficiency across samples and monitor against RNase contamination. Each of the real-time instrument-specific RT2 SYBR Green Mastermixes contains SYBR Green and an appropriate reference dye to match the instrumentation available in your laboratory. RT2 SYBR Green Mastermixes are available for all real-time PCR instruments from QIAGEN, Applied Biosystems, Bio-Rad, Stratagene, Eppendorf, Roche and other major suppliers.

How can one resist a classic striped tee? I am still searching for an answer (or not). All of us have worn it - when we dress up, when we don't, at school, when we run to the store or even the gym. It is a wardrobe essential. A classic.
Pairing stripes is so much fun without having to try too hard (or look like you did!). This will be the first of a three part series where I shall play with stripes. I wore a striped dress with tangerine accents in the past, but, in this series the outfits will use multiple pieces of clothing, so we maximize the potentional of the humble striped tee.
Here's the first look. I call it the Color Cave because the bold colors cave in on the striped tee. While the look is centered on the tee, the stripes become a canvas to the red and yellow pieces. I matched the shoes to the blazer which bind the whole outfit together. Try this look with other complimentary colors - how about fuchsia with lime green, or blue with orange?

The West Highland White Terrier is a classic charming terrier. Bred to rat and hunt, as so many of his Terrier cousins were, the Westie has evolved into the quintessential happy-go-lucky companion.
While your Westie may not sniff out more than a Cheeto from under the sofa, West Highland White Terriers were bred for a specific purpose…to eliminate rats. They had to sniff out the vermin, find it and you know the rest.
The West Highland White Terrier also shares a predisposition toward having a dry nose with many of their Terrier kin. Your Westie may have a bit of dryness or be covered in crusty tissue, a condition called nasal hyperkeratosis. Nose Butter® moisturizes all levels of Westie dry noses from just a bit to nasal hyperkeratosis back into shape. With regular usage, your Westie's nose can stay healthy.

Using Nose Butter
More Tips On Using Nose Butter On Uncooperative, Stubborn Dogs - We know you're asking for a friend.
Nasal Hyperkeratosis is the extremely dry version of a dry dog nose. Any breed, any dog can develop it, but there are a few characteristics or circumstances that can trigger it. More info in video below and here.
My Boston is over ten years old and his nose looks horrible. Huge cracks and rough. We've been using your nose butter w few days and already see a huge difference! I wish I would've done a before picture for comparison
I mean the subject line says it all! I am amazed by this product! We purchased this and within 2 days of using it our dogs nose was better. That's not a joke. 2 DAYS her nose looked like new. Her nose was so thick with crust it was awful! This stuff is pure Magic! Thank you for make Ellie that much more beautimous!
I used the Pomeranian nose butter on my little bundle of joy. Was skeptical but the butter did clear up her dry crusty nose. She doesn't seem to mind me applying it either. Love the packaging! Love the product booklet! Not only well written but like the cute friendly comments throughout
This actually works and I'm impressed. It's getting rid of all the dry build up of hardened skin on his nose I thought was permanent or just the way his nose was.
I was half-hearted to order it but it truly has amazing result. My dog's nose heals nicely without dried cracks. I highly recommended it! A++++
After taking my dog to the vet for a dental, I noticed a week later she had a crusty nose. I had never seen this before. When I bought the nose butter for chihuahuas I was very skeptical. After 4 days using it 3 times a day. Her nose completely back to normal! Also saved me a trip back to the vet.
Very happy customer here!
We got a rescue rat terrier and I noticed his nose was unusually dry & kinda lumpy. I looked up the condition and found you guys. Your 1 Every Dog Nose Butter has been amazing! His nose is so much better! And in less than 2 weeks. A huge difference! My fur baby seems more comfortable. Thank you so much! I will definitely re-purchase.
I've always use the butter on my dog's nose but I've started using it on his paw pads too! I had no idea they were so rough but I have every hope they'll improve real soon, I'll be ordering again soon, thank you!
Hyperkeratosis? Nose butter? Who knew? There it was, part of a scary reaction to a once monthly prescription flea medicine (NEVER again-goin all natural). It took about 3 days after we got your nose butter. Meanwhile, I was using my own "nose butter" (more like nose lotion), made from coconut oil and a touch of olive oil. But, it didn't help very long at a time. I was applying it every 2 hours plus once or twice at night when I had to get up anyway. She's a sweetheart and a wise little thing, but my husky/corgi mix and I were both tired of that. My Blissful Every Dog nose butter arrived in less than a week. It just seemed like forever, lol. I found tho that her dry nose problem was as resistant as the soles of my feet were before I found what worked for them. Like petroleum jelly for me, the nose butter seemed to be "riding on top" and not soaking in. Even at that, it did halt that horrifying split i was seeing between her nostrils-down to raw tissue! So we were still at my concoction in between nose butter three times a day. I finally tried my stuff first with nose butter over it. Voìla! A day later I was checking that sweet little soft black nose a lot more often than I needed to treat it. I am so grateful. That suddenly dry, hot, hard, rough nosie was heartbreaking. My fur baby is a lot happier too. Thank you!

Wild Alaska Salmon Ranks High for Musher, Racing Sled Dogs' Diet
Four-time Iditarod Sled Dog Race champion Lance Mackey was all smiles an hour before the start of the 2013 race to Nome, checking his sled bag over, when asked how much wild Alaska salmon he was taking along.
"For me or the dogs?" Mackey shot back.
In fact Mackey, of Fairbanks, Alaska, was packing along about 30 pounds of smoked salmon for himself, and had shipped on ahead in the supply bags delivered to each checkpoint along the way some 600 pounds of king and chum salmon to snack his team of huskies.
Another Iditarod champion, Mitch Seavey, of Seward, Alaska, said he also was packing smoked salmon for his own consumption, plus about 300 pounds of salmon, and sheefish, for snacking his dogs on the trail.
Paul Gebhardt, a top contender in the race from Kasilof, on the Kenai Peninsula, said he was packing about 400 pounds of salmon for his dogs.
2013 Yukon Quest sled dog race champion Allen Moore, of Two Rivers, near Fairbanks, and his wife, Aliy Zirkle, who won the Yukon Quest in 2000, also sent out a load of wild salmon for snacking their teams. And the list goes on and on.
Hours before the race began March 3 at Willow, Alaska, where temperatures were in the high 20s, quite a few of the mushers fed their teams frozen salmon snacks before hitting the trail to Nome.
"Fish gives the most hydration," said Moore. "The dogs like the fish, especially in warmer weather. They like it and it is good for them."
"Fish is one of the most important snacks because of water content," said Kaz Zirkle, sister of Aliy. "We cut the fish into 'Snicker bites,' six inches long."
Both Zirkle and Moore had packed about 50 salmon per team.
"I've always made it a point of feeding a lot of fish," said Sebastian Schnuelle, of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, who won the Yukon Quest in 2009, and has been a contender in several Iditarod races. "The dogs like it and they do well on it."
Some mushers are fortunate enough to get the fish donated by a fish processor in their area. Seavey, for example gets about 20,000 to 30,000 pounds a year of fish from Icicle Seafoods' processing facilities in Seward, said Dan Seavey, Mitch's father, and himself a former Iditarod musher.
Snug Harbor Seafoods supplies Gebhardt with fish, and some fishing guides on the Kenai Peninsula also save king salmon heads for him, he said.
Given the cost of running the Iditarod, just about all the mushers are most appreciative of any donations offered, everywhere from fish processing plants to fish from individual freezers. To contact any mushers to donate fish, check their contact information at http://www.iditarod.com.

The newest fighter jets that have been the subject of noise complaints across the country won't be flying low over the hills of western Maine under the National Guard's proposal to increase the amount of training area for ground-hugging flights, official said Thursday.
PORTLAND, Maine — The newest fighter jets that have been the subject of noise complaints across the country won't be flying low over the hills of western Maine under the National Guard's proposal to increase the amount of training area for ground-hugging flights, official said Thursday.
The National Guard's request to double the amount of airspace for low-level training over western Maine has dragged on for so long that the Vermont National Guard has received approval for cutting-edge aircraft that weren't contemplated when the process began eight years ago.
But the stealthy F-35 fighters, which are noisier than the jets they're replacing, won't train at low altitudes in Maine. When they arrive in 2020, Vermont's F-35s will be restricted to higher altitudes — no lower than 7,000 feet above sea level — where noise is less of an issue, said Landon Jones, a National Guard airspace manager who's working on the proposal.
The F-35's engine produces more noise than F-15 and F-16 fighters from National Guard units in Massachusetts and Vermont, which currently fly as low as 500 feet in narrow corridors within the 4,000-square-mile Condor Military Operation Area over western Maine and a sliver of northern New Hampshire.
The Massachusetts Air National Guard, whose fighters were first on the scene in New York after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, proposed to increase the amount of area for low-level flights for more realistic homeland defense training.
The Massachusetts-based, twin-engine F-15 fighters need more space than the smaller, single-engine F-16s from Vermont, which usually train over upstate New York but sometimes travel to Maine.
The Air National Guard is continuing to reach out to various groups, including the Penobscot Indian Nation, which owns 20,000 acres of land in the region, and hopes to complete a final environmental impact statement this fall, Jones said. After that, the Federal Aviation Administration will get the final say, and that process could take several more years, he said.
The National Guard had a similar proposal in 1992, but it was withdrawn under pressure from local residents and then-Gov. John McKernan.
The current effort has again faced gubernatorial objections, first from Democratic Gov. John Baldacci and then from Republican Gov. Paul LePage. LePage told the National Guard and the Federal Aviation Administration in 2011 that the expanded training area is a "want, not a need."
Jones, a former pilot, disagreed with the governor's assessment, saying the F-15 fighters need more airspace for maneuvering.
By spreading the maneuvers over a wider area, the noise will be dispersed instead of limited to existing corridors, or lanes, that are used for low-level flights. And the number of low-level sorties will be reduced once the Vermont National Guard switches from F-16s to F-35s, he said.

Let's make it official: Antoine Dodson is this year's face – and auto-tuned voice – of social media.
Dodson – whose emotional recounting of stopping a sex attack on his sister became an unlikely Internet music video sensation – stands at the blurry intersection of news and entertainment that characterized the Web this year.
The ongoing shift in the popular culture can be quantified, albeit imperfectly, by staggering statistics released separately Monday by YouTube and Twitter: some 25 billion tweets were sent in 2010, while YouTube logged more than 700 billion hits, both figures representing huge jumps over last year.
The sites' most popular topics of the year offer a fascinating, if not always flattering, picture of social media users at a time when folks not only have a sea of media choices, but can easily and instantly contribute to the ocean of content.
Twitter's Top 10 trending topics included major news stories – the Gulf oil spill placed No. 1, while the Haitian earthquake, arguably the year's most important story, came in fourth. The list also contains a mix of sports (the World Cup, the annoying vuvuzela horns and Paul the psychic octopus), tech (the iPad and Google Android) and popular entertainment ("Inception," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and Justin Bieber).
The teen singer, who placed eighth on the Twitter list, the highest of any individual, also dominated YouTube, with the video for his undeniably catchy "Baby" amassing more than 400 million views.
But perhaps the most telling YouTube list was the lineup of surprise, out-of-nowhere viral hits, like the guy weeping at the beauty of a double rainbow and the fun Old Spice commercial.
The biggest new star was Dodson, whose trauma became a weird hybrid of news and music video after his interview with a TV reporter was transformed by an outfit called Auto-Tune the News into a hit called "Bed Intruder Song!!!" His warning to "hide your kids, hide your wife," turned into the musical catch phrase of the summer as videos of Dodson garnered more than 61 million views on YouTube.
The statistics might seem as frivolous as the annual end-of-year ranking of top TV shows and movies ("The Social Network," which is about the story of Facebook, is among the flicks turning up on many critics' lists). But the numbers speak volumes that are worth a listen.
YouTube appears to be solidifying as a source of popular entertainment and novelty – even if Haiti was the site's No. 1 search in January after the devastating earthquake.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Meanwhile, Twitter, mocked by many for some users' tendency to post inane status updates about the mundane, seems to be transforming into a major means to share and comment on a fairly wide range of events the day.
Exactly where social media is headed in 2011 is anybody's guess – we can't even rely on a prediction from Paul the Octopus, whose death in October was a major topic of discussion on Twitter.
But this much seems certain: more and more, we are what we tweet – and watch on YouTube.

I'm Loren Mathis and I'm a new romantic suspense author. I grew up in a rural town in eastern NC. I went to college at UNC. I am grateful that I'm now able to pursue my dream as a writer, and to share the characters who roam around my head with you.
Swift Strike is the second novel in my "SEAL Team 14" series. It is a standalone novel so the first book does not have to be read in order to enjoy this installment. The SEAL Team 14 series focuses on an elite group of U.S. Navy SEALs.
Ensign Jesse Denison and his comrades on SEAL Team 14 have a new assignment: rescue a group of civilian hostages who have been kidnapped by a rogue terrorist cell in central Somalia. Little does he know, this seemingly innocuous rescue mission will change his life forever...
After she is rescued by Navy SEAL Jesse Denison, petroleum engineer, Lena Westlake, can't get the handsome, brooding soldier out of her mind. Despite their intense attraction to one another, Lena doesn't have a reason to believe that the two of them will meet again after her rescue.
When Lena is attacked again by the same terrorist cell mere days after her first rescue, Jesse comes to realize that this terror group has a broader, deadlier agenda than just oil production disruption in Sub-Saharan Africa. An agenda that includes the acquisition of a cutting edge weapons technology developed by Lena's father...
Will Jesse be able to save the woman he has grown to love before it's too late? Or will Lena share a similar death as his former girlfriend, another woman he could not save…
"Zaida ya kivuli," the man barked out in a low, gritty voice. Jesse didn't have a freaking clue what language the guy was speaking in. Jesse was fluent in Arabic, but the words falling out of the militant's mouth were definitely not Arabic.
"Don't move an inch," Jesse commanded, raising his Sig Sauer P228 a notch higher. He repeated his directive in Arabic. It was going to be a tough shot. Lena's head blocked all but a quarter of the shorter man's face. "Slowly, put the knife down and step away from the woman."
"Zaida ya kivuli," the man recited the words again before saying the more familiar, "Allah Akbar."
A soft anguish-filled sob escaped Lena's lips. Her eyes widened with fear, sweat rolling down the sides of her face. Then the militant moved his wrist. The movement was so slight as to be almost imperceptible, but he was ready for it.
Jesse did not hesitate to pull the trigger. He took the head shot. The whole tragic ordeal was over in a matter of seconds.
Slumping to the ground, the knife slipped from the man's lifeless fingers. Jesse sprinted toward Lena who'd also collapsed to the floor in the aftermath of the shot.
Dropping to his knees, he reached for her. His hands swiftly skimmed her face and neck to see if she'd somehow been injured in the shooting, checking for a heartbeat. His eyes closed in relief when he felt the persistent thudding of her pulse against his fingertips.
Slipping a hand underneath her head, he touched her shortened locks. Those assholes had apparently chopped off her hair. Luckily, she hadn't been harmed by his shot. She was drenched in the blood and brain matter of her captor, but she didn't have any visible bullet wounds or lacerations. She still lay unresponsive, but she had probably fainted from the stress of the situation.
"Jesse, we have got to hustle, man," Luke intoned quietly from somewhere behind him. "We've got about seven minutes to make it back to surface and to the boat."

The server is up and running, and now we only need you!

I don't like the current 3er sedan. I don't like the current 3er five-door hatch. I don't like the 4er coupe. But I do like the 4er five-door hatch, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. What's wrong with me?
I dislike the current F30 3er because it just seems so big, and bloaty, and far, far removed from what I like about BMW. I'm sure it's a fine, refined car, it's just not for me. I feel the same way about the 4er, both in coupe and cabrio form for the same reason. Plus the dogbone lower front grill looks awful.
And I don't like the 3GT even though I think I should because, I don't know, it's got a hunchback.
But the 4 Gran Coupe! What is this that I am feeling? I don't care that it's too big and too heavy and probably drives like a Buick. I don't care that it's missing a seat in the back (ok, wait, no I do dislike that). It just looks wonderful, and I couldn't be happier behind the driver's seat, even if any traces of wonderful Neue Classe small sports sedan DNA have been pried out like a tick. I like that it's a liftback, according to this F30post user who claims he's seen one in person at a private showing. It reminds me of the wonderful old BMW E3, which looked every bit like a sedan version of the beloved E9 coupe.
Maybe I'm going insane, but here's a big, fat BMW that I kinda like. That or I just think it's pretty. Either way.

Downsizing and Simplifying: Mitt Romney

I just got my internet going for the first time since this morning (comcast – ugh!) and now I am GORGING. While catching up on the latest Huffington Post entries, I perused the slide show of Mitt Romney's humble ski chalet in Deer Valley Utah. Apparently, the Romneys are "downsizing and simplifying." Maybe he's going to follow the current hot political trend of thinking about Abe Lincoln, and trading down for a one-room log cabin. Can you imagine how much it would cost to heat this massive manor? It is 9,500 square feet. They have so many lights on for this photo that at first glance I thought it was on fire. I'm just picturing those energy meters going around and around at warp speed when I look at this:
I'm all for big timber, stone fireplaces, and a bit of hokey-ness in a mountain house, but the decor in this thing is so over-the-top fugly it makes me retch. In a 5.25 million dollar house, I expect a little better. Some of those light fixtures belong in the ugly lighting hall of fame. Ugh, and that wooden cowhide-covered coffee table, words escape me:
For another ridiculous ski lodge on the market, click here.

Co-founder & Director of Artist Relations @ Electric Objects.
Formerly @ Rhizome and Eyebeam Art + Technology Center.
Chris Poole (aka moot) is many things. He is the founder of the notorious 4chan (2003—), the bulletin board that gave rise to some of the most memorable memes of past decade, and Canv.as (2010—), a website that encourages sharing and remixing media. His most recent project, DrawQuest, is an iPad app that prompts users with a new drawing challenge every day. Its latest version was launched in the iTunes store last week.
Poole embodies and understands the internet and online community in the way only a millennial who had a computer in his bedroom with no parental supervision can. He started 4chan when he was 15, and for the community that emerged around it, he belongs in the pantheon of internet gods. Their adoration went so far that in 2009, 4chan users flooded the Time 100 poll to award Poole as The World's Most Influential Person. They describe him in the satirical Internet culture wiki Encyclopedia Dramatica as "supreme overlord of the Internet." He still devotes a considerable amount of time and money to 4chan, despite the fact that he can expect nothing in return. But although he stays involved in the community he created as an adolescent, Poole has grown up. Now, he's an entrepreneur attempting to solve the puzzle of how to cultivate and – hopefully – monetize a creative online community.
I met with Poole for bubble tea in the East Village on a hot Tuesday afternoon. After showing me the new updates in the latest version of DrawQuest, we talked about his views on art, online communities, and growing up internet.

For those of you who were unable to join us for the We See In Every Direction Official Surf Party last week, here is a video from the artist, Jonas Lund, that captures some of the highlights of what happens when dozens of people try to share a single browser window. Cursors circulate like flies, the URL window becomes a turf war and a good time is had by all.
Even if the official event is over, the party doesn't have to stop—you can still collaboratively surf the Web with strangers by installing We See, available on The Download. If you're hungry to learn more about the event you can also check out some tweets with the hashtag #WeSee or peep the Facebook event page where some discussion took place.
This month The Download features We See In Every Direction (2013) a Web browser for collaborative, synchronized surfing by Swedish artist Jonas Lund. Browsing the Internet is typically an intimate and personal experience for just one person, but in We See, users traverse online information streams in a collective surfing environment. Users can type, click and change URLs in real time together; they can jockey for control of the browser--akin to fighting for the TV remote--or choose to sit back and let their friends take care of the surfing. Like many of Lund's previous online works, the piece opens up the walled-off spaces of the Internet for shared use.
The Download is Rhizome's ongoing digital art exhibition and collecting program that features new works by great artists for free download.

The concept that there are two sides to every story, I have presented a scene that visually holds the same information, but it is in 'how' the audience reads it that creates meaning. My concept has some similarities to Memento, in which the film's story sequencing runs backwards. But I was truly inspired by situations in my life, dealing with varied opinions on the same subject. I used 3D programs such as Maya to create a (virtual) world, based on both my imagination and real life. Digital media allowed my vision to become alive, better than any other media.
Artists often gain inspiration from film and popular culture to create evocative and powerful images. Identify the way Daniel Steele, Robyn Stacey and Ingeborg Thysson have used the stylistic conventions of film in their work. List them and discuss how they influence the audience's reading of the narrative. Write a narrative that could explain one of these images.

Tiny Tag Booklet on a Christmas Tag
Designer Tip: When using the Spectrum Noir pens, it's easy to create depth in your designs by shading. It's best to color one small section at a time so you can shade while the ink is still wet. For easy 2-color shading, begin by coloring the area with the lighter pen shade. Now go in with a slightly darker pen and color where shadows would fall on your object. Don't color too much—you can always go back and add more if it ends up too light. While it's still wet, use the light shade again to blend the two colors together, eliminating harsh lines.

Homer Bailey seems like a good dude, especially based on that post game interview. I really hope he can have more starts like this one.

I think pride is hurt more than anything here. Chapman, no way he expects to get beat by two bloops and a Matt Dominguez homer. The velocity decrease may be intentional? Trying to save some gas for the playoffs, and trying not to waste it on the lowly Astros and get by? Chapman has truly spoiled us this year.
Regardless, waking up to see the Cards lose in extras at home at 3 am took some of the sting out of that one. Take the next two and forget about the two bloops and blast downfall Friday.

- One of the biggest questions entering the 2007 season is how well Akinori Iwamura will adjust to Major League pitching. Most believe that his average will drop slightly, but his power will take a big hit. What nobody has speculated on is his base stealing totals. Well, despite a career high of 15, Muu-Rah believes he can steal 40 in the majors. If you can't read Japanese (shame on you) don't fret, the fine folks over at Roto Authority have used their Babbelfish to translate the page. According to Roto Authority Muu-Rah wants to be a 20-40 guy and win the Rookie of the Year. Sounds like Muu-Rah realizes that he won't be the same power hitter he has been in Japan and sees a need to enhance other parts of his game.
- James Shields will start the spring opener for the Rays on Friday against the Spankees with Scott Kazmir taking the mound on Saturday versus the Grey Jays.
- Casey Fossum is the only pitcher that has yet to throw batting practice. That does not bode well for his chance of being ready for the opening week of the regular season. For all the talk of the open fifth spot in the rotation. The team may have two open spots if the Flop can't go.
- Carlos Pena, who is battling for a roster spot, says that he wasn't loved during his stints in Detroit, New York and Boston last season. If he can cut down on his strikeouts, we are sure that Joe Maddon will be willing to coddle him.
- The Hardball Times has named "The Best Young Shortstops of 2007" and Reid Brignac is on the list.
- Surprise, surprise…The weed that got Elijah Dukes arrested earlier this year, wasn't his. Well, that clears that up.
- The new Israel Baseball League will debut this year with six teams. One of those teams appear to have some sort of Ray for a mascot (as seen at the top of this page), although we are unsure which team it is. Best we can tell it is either the Modi'in Miracle or the Ra'anana Express. Personally, we would have liked to see the Ra'anana franchise called the Ba'ananas, but what do we know. Using basic kindergarten analytical skills, we were able to eliminate the Blue Sox, the Pioneers, the Lightning and the Tigers as possible sources of the Rays logo.
- ….over and over and over. If they keep this up, we are going to start referring to them as DRickyHendersons. We kid because we care…we kid because its true.

Mass affluent investors are making retirement saving a priority, according to a report from Merrill Edge, the branch of Bank of America-Merrill Lynch that focuses on the mass affluent market. What's more, they've learned their lesson the hard way, and many feel families should more proactively teach their children about financial issues.
Braun Research conducted the survey in September among over 1,000 Americans with assets between $50,000 and $250,000. The report estimates the total number of households in the United States with that level of assets is around 33 million.
Although only 39% of respondents said retirement was their top financial focus, it outpaced paying debt at 26% and over three-quarters said they were actively looking to grow their retirement nest egg. Merrill Edge noted that this was a "major shift" since the period after the recession when mass affluent investors were focused on short-term obligations. However, 44% of respondents cited paying debt as their biggest financial accomplishment of the past year.
"This is an inflection point in terms of the mass affluent customers refocusing themselves on long-term savings and retirement and switching away from paying down debt," Alok Prasad, head of Merrill Edge, told ThinkAdvisor on Wednesday. "They feel very good in terms of thinking about that transition and thinking more practically about retirement."
He noted, however, that the average age of the mass affluent client is 55 and that they have saved only $165,000 for retirement. They hope to retire at 66 with $736,000, he said. "To do the math, the need to close the gap is extremely high over the next 10 years or so."
Unsurprisingly, older investors were more likely to cite retirement as a top priority, but the report found younger investors expected to save more overall. Millennial respondents, who admittedly have less currently saved than boomers, expect to save an average $822,000 for retirement. Boomers, a quarter of whom said they already have $150,000, expect to save an average $645,000.
Men expected to put away an average $855,000, while women said they will likely save only $623,000.
"They're saving less and their lifespan is longer on average than men, and therefore the gap is going to become much more substantial for them," Prasad said. "The issue, at least in my mind, is around how do we engage women more in terms of saving and getting engaged in terms of getting access to financial advisors. We've got to do a better job as an industry of engaging women."
Half of respondents said they had learned to manage their finances through trial and error, but nearly 90% said parents and grandparents should educate young people on financial issues and 71% said that education should happen before they turn 18.
That focus on education has already taken hold for families of the youngest respondents. Sixty percent of Gen Y respondents and 53% of Gen X respondents said they learned about financial issues from their family members. By comparison, 61% of people over 65 and 53% of boomers said they learned on their own.
The most important financial value to impart to their children was, for most people, how to use credit cards. Over half of respondents said using credit and debit accounts responsibly was the most important financial skill. Forty-six percent said paying bills and saving were the most important skills, followed by making and sticking to a budget at 43%.
Here again, Merrill Edge found that message taking hold among younger respondents. While 83% of Gen Y respondents said they have and use a budget, just 57% of people over 65 agreed.
"We are seeing the mass affluent recognize the value of saving for retirement, but they are taking actions in terms of closing that gap. However, we are seeing 61% of them saying they may have to delay retirement because they haven't saved enough."
Although most respondents agreed financial education starts at home, many prefer a financial advisor's guidance to information from other sources. Forty percent of all respondents said they get their information from an advisor, compared with 28% who talk to family and friends. Less than a quarter get financial information from a brokerage or bank.
Other factors playing a role in mass affluent investors' investment decisions are the economy (70%), interest rates (66%) and inflation (64%).
More than 61% of respondents said they expected to retire later than they thought they would, up 6% since the last time the survey was conducted in the spring.

Case IH announces that Case IH Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) technology is now available for the Maxxum® tractor line up, with Maxxum 110, 120 and 130 CVT options. First introduced into the North American market with the Puma family in 2008, Case IH CVT simplifies tractor operation while also delivering the best balance of power and fuel efficiency.
"Case IH continues to deliver on customer requests by taking the multi-purpose Maxxum tractor, which is known for its ability to handle large workloads, and furnishing it with technology to improve engine performance and fuel efficiency," says Dave Bogan, marketing manager for Puma and Maxxum tractors. "But what customers tell us they really appreciate is how easy the Case IH CVT is to use, even for inexperienced drivers. There's no programming required; you set the speed and direction you want to go and the tractor does the rest."
Efficient Power Built In
CVT combines the stepless speed variability of a hydrostatic transmission with the mechanical efficiency of a traditional gear transmission.
"It delivers power to the ground efficiently at every speed, for the ultimate in smooth, stepless shifting," says Bogan. From creeper speeds as low as 98 feet per hour for vegetable growers, all the way up to 30 miles per hour for transport operations."
Case IH offers an active stop feature that is especially popular, according to Bogan. "You simply pull the MultiFunction Handle all the way back, and it will stop thetractor without having to push the clutch. This makes it easier to operate the tractor, and it makes starting and stopping as simple as driving your pickup truck."
This functionality also applies to the foot throttle and is especially useful when backing the tractor up to hitch to implements. Not only is this process easier, it also is safer.
All Maxxum tractors are equipped with standard Power Boost, which provides additional engine power of up to 20 horsepower to maintain working speeds in tough crop conditions or on inclines, or to provide more power for roading or for mobile hydraulics or PTO applications. Maxxum CVT tractors also feature increased hydraulic capacity for more responsive implement and steering control.
Even Better Operator Environment
Adding to the ease of operation for new Maxxum MultiController models is an updated Case IH Multifunction Handle that simplifies operation. Redesigned buttons are now raised and backlit, and sized to differentiate functions, based on feedback from operators. You can tell the buttons apart by touch alone to make operation even simpler.
Other cab enhancements for Maxxum CVT, Maxxum Multicontroller and Puma models include a newly designed headliner control bank, featuring AC controls, relocated into a more natural line of sight when operating the tractor. The headliner also has 3 additional slots – 1 for radio and 2 for additional storage. A tinted rear window has been added to the suspended cab, which is standard on Maxxum Multicontroller and CVT models. Operators will also appreciate new left-hand soft trim, a storage net below the optional instructor seat and elastic straps on the instructor seat's back rest. There is deluxe radio option with Bluetooth, as well as optional factory fit carpet.

One of my readers, Michelle, commented,
"Thanks for the tip. One of my questions is how do you post pictures side by side? Or is that all done in photoshop?Thanks again, can't wait to hear more!"
So this one is for you Michelle.
How to align pictures.
If you want to align your pictures (or sponsors) side by side then two things will be your best friends, java script codes and photobucket.
So the first thing you are going to do is log-in to your blogger account, go to design, add a gadget, and open a html/javascript gadget.
Then put the following code into the box. That code is for one picture. Repeat it for as many pictures as you have. (remember you can click the images to view them larger)
If you want the images to link to a web page, then the code will look like this.
Now you open a new window and go to photobucket. Upload your pictures (or buttons). Before you upload your images you want to make sure they are going to fit side by side in your sidebar. I like to resize my photos before putting them into photobucket, but it can be done in photobucket as well.
To resize, click on the image, then hover your mouse over it and a tool bar will appear. I find the preset sizes usually come out clearer, or you can hit more options and select an exact size.
If you don't need to resize, then just hover over your image and this tool bar will appear. Click the "direct link" and it will copy.
Go back to your javascript gadget and replace the word image (only the word, leave the " " in place) with the code you just copied. If you are using the code with a link, then replace the word link with the web address you are linking to. (I underlined the parts of the code that I added.)
Now repeat for as many pictures as you have.
If you want the images centered, add the code underlined in blue (image above) before and after the entire thing. Click save. If your images are not side by side, it means that your sidebar is too narrow. Try adjusting the width of your sidebar.
That's it!
This process can be used for pictures, sponsor buttons, sidebar category buttons, and menu bar buttons. It can also be used in your posts to align pictures that way, just insert the code while in "edit html" mode. So play around with it and have fun!
The next installment will be on how to use CSS coding to do some really fun stuff!

Black Pine Snake
Scientific name: Pituophis melanoleucus lodingi (BLANCHARD 1924)
* Currently accepted name
* scientific names used through time
- Coluber melanoleucus – DAUDIN 1803
- Pituophis melanoleucus – HOLBROOK 1842
- Rhinechis melanoleucus – DUMÉRIL 1853
- Pityophis melanoleucus – BAIRD 1859
- Pituophis melanoleuca – GÜNTHER 1894
- Pituophis melanoleucos – CUESTA-TERRÓN 1921
- Pituophis melanoleucus lodingi – BLANCHARD 1924
Description: Adults average from 48-64 inches (122-163 cm). The record is 89 inches (226 cm). A large stocky snake. Back and belly are uniform (or nearly so) black or dark brown. Faint blotches may be seen on the hindbody or tail. In Florida, the Black Pine Snake interbreeds with the Florida Pine Snake (Pituophis melanoleucus mutigus) to produce individuals with very dark brown or black backs and dark gray to whitish bellies with scattered black spots. There are 29 dorsal scale rows at midbody and the scales are keeled. The pupils are round. The snout is somewhat pointed and covered by a large triangular, almost cone-shaped, rostral scale. There are four large scales on top of the snout, rather than two as in many other snakes. Juveniles are dark toward the head, patterned toward the tail, and have pink to tan bellies.
A. Top of the head
B. Underside of the head (chin and throat)
C. Keeled scales
D. Front (face view) of the head
E. Side of the head
F. Elongated scales below the tail (subcaudal scales) are typically divided
Range: The Black Pine Snake occurs in Florida only as an intergrade with the Florida Pine Snake, found in the panhandle west of the Escambia River. Pure Black Pinesnakes occur from southwestern Alabama to extreme eastern Louisiana.
Habitat: The Black Pine Snake requires dry sandy soils for burrowing. It is found in pine and mixed hardwood forests.
Comments: HARMLESS (Non-Venomous). When disturbed, the Black Pine Snake will inflate and rear its forebody off the ground while hissing very loudly. It feeds primarily on pocket gophers, which it pursues by forcing its way into their underground burrows. Prey also include other small mammals, birds and their eggs, and reptile eggs. Breeding occurs in spring and 4-8 large, whitish eggs are laid in pocket gopher burrows during mid to late summer. The 18-20 inch (46-51 cm) young hatch in September-October.
Comparison with other species: The Eastern Racer (Coluber constrictor) has smooth scales, divided cloacal plate, only two large scales on the top of the snout, and lack the enlarged triangular rostral scale on the tip of the snout. The Eastern Coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum flagellum) has a dark head and neck turning into a tan body and tail, smooth scales and lacks the enlarged triangular rostral scale on the snout. The Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi) has smooth scales, only two large scales on top of its snout, and lacks the enlarged triangular rostral scale on the tip of its snout.

With mobile data usage continuing to skyrocket and the availability of spectrum scarce, AT&T, like other wireless companies, manages its network in the most fair way possible so that we can provide the best possible mobile broadband experience for all our customers.
How we're managing the network only affects a small minority of the heaviest smartphone data users still on unlimited plans. Put another way, this does not impact more than 95 percent of our smartphone customers.
Our unlimited plan customers have told us they want more clarity around how the program works and what they can expect. Here's what customers need to know:
· Customers with a 3G or 4G smartphone – who also still have our unlimited data plan – will see speeds reduced if they use 3GB (gigabytes) of data or more in a billing cycle. Speeds will return to normal at the start of the next billing cycle. For context, less than 5 percent of smartphone customers use more than 3GB per month.
· For customers with a 4G LTE smartphone – who also still have our unlimited data plan – data speeds will be reduced if usage is 5GB (gigabytes) or more in a billing cycle. Speeds will return to normal at the start of the next billing cycle.
Customers will get a text message from us before experiencing a change in speed.
Even with reduced data speeds, these customers will still be able to surf the web, stream audio, email and do most other smartphone activities and continue to use an unlimited amount of data each month.
Not impacted by this program, launched last year, are customers on our tiered data plans.
The reason reduced speeds only apply to unlimited smartphone customers is because their data usage is significantly higher than those on tiered plans. For example, in January, the top 5 percent of our unlimited data plan customers used an average of over 50 percent more data than the top 5 percent of customers on tiered plans.
Because spectrum is limited and data usage continues to soar, we manage our network this way to be as fair as possible and so we can provide the best possible mobile broadband experience to everyone.
We encourage all of our customers to use Wi-Fi whenever possible – especially when watching video, which is the most data-intensive activity.
That's because data activity over Wi-Fi does not count against the threshold for unlimited customers that triggers reduced data speeds or against customers' tiered data plans. Customers can find out more at www.att.com/datainfo

text: Childlessness was such a disaster that the Hebrews could regard it only as a punishment from God (Gen. 20: 18); but children in abundance (Ps. 127: 5) were a mark of divine blessing, and, in the case of sons, the means of perpetuating the family line and taking on the father's trade to ensure prosperity. Although mothers usually chose a child's name (1 Sam. 1: 20) it was the father who gave religious and practical instruction (Exod. 10: 2; Ecclus. [= Sir.] 30: 1–13), and discipline was severe (Prov. 13: 24). Christians are sometimes addressed as 'children' (Gal. 4: 19; 1 John 2: 1), a practice they perhaps connected with Jesus (John 21: 5). And they referred to themselves as 'children of God' (Rom. 8: 16) to denote the special relationship with God which they inherited as the people of the new covenant.

Scientists to determine how whale off Deer Island died
Whale believed to be Finback
The United States Coast Guard and a team from the New England Aquarium responded Sunday to a dead whale seen floating off the shore of Deer Island in Boston Harbor.
Tony LaCasse, New England Aquarium spokesman, said the estimated 50-foot whale was first spotted overnight and is believed to be a Finback. Biologists with the aquarium went out with a boat on Sunday to get a closer look.
"One of the things our biologists saw on the animal was that there was a lot of bruising and a lot of what we call pressure lines -- laterally -- which can be caused by something wrapping around it," LaCasse said.
The Coast Guard said they are tracking the location of the whale but there were no plans to tow it closer to the shore. Officials said when it washes up, a necropsy will be performed.
"It's always important to do a full necropsy because just like in a homicide, things that seem obvious are not necessarily the case," LaCasse said.
Scientists said the Finback is the second longest whale in the world. It is the most common whale to see on Massachusetts whale watching tours behind the Humpback.

Is Sex the Cure for Morning Sickness? (Probably Not, but It May Be Worth A Shot)
Feb 2016
In news that's sure to excite your partner, a psychologist is theorizing that the cause of — and cure for — morning sickness is none other than your baby's father. More specifically, his semen.
According to Slate, Gordon Gallup of SUNY-Albany Gallup argues that since half of a baby's genetic makeup belongs to its father, it's possible that a woman's body treats that DNA as a foreign substance. So the mother experiences an immune reaction that involves vomiting and nausea, the same way it would if you caught a virus. Luckily, Gallup feels that the cause and the cure are both one and the same: (you guessed it) semen.
Although the theory has yet to be tested (read: nowhere near proven), Gallup speculates that to prevent symptoms of nausea during the first trimester, a woman should frequently expose herself to her partner's semen in order to develop a higher tolerance to his genetic makeup. In other words, the more often a woman is inseminated leading up to and during pregnancy (he's talking regular sex and oral), the less sick she'll feel.
We had a good laugh about this theory — and are wondering if Gallup has a wife who's now in the early stages of pregnancy — but there are plans to actually study it. Plus, there are more interesting tidbits:
Gallup says that a woman's reaction to her mate's DNA is a maternal adaptation that favors the best potential suitor. So we should interpret hugging the toilet bowl as a sign that we chose the wrong husband?
He also says that women with little to no sexual contact or those who use condoms are more susceptible to feeling queasy. And also predicts that women with two or more children should experience lessened symptoms of morning sickness with each consecutive pregnancy.
Of course, we've got to wonder, if you're feeling really sick, how you're going to get into the mood. But if you're desperate to feel better, a roll in the hay might be worth a shot. Of course, we'll remain skeptical until we see the results of Gallup's study.
How was your experience with morning sickness? What do you think of this theory?
